The even-genus Rankin-product lifting conjecture

Let m1m\geq 1, and let ff and gg be Siegel modular forms of genus 2m2m, of weights k>2mk>2m and l=k2ml=k-2m, with Satake parameters (α0,α1,,α2m)(\alpha_0,\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_{2m}) and (β0,β1,,β2m)(\beta_0,\beta_1,\ldots,\beta_{2m}). Even-genus lifting conjecture. There exists a Siegel modular form FF of genus 4m4m and weight kk with Satake parameters

γ0=α0β0,γi=αi (1i2m),γ2m+j=βj (1j2m).\gamma_0=\alpha_0\beta_0,\quad \gamma_i=\alpha_i\ (1\leq i\leq 2m),\quad \gamma_{2m+j}=\beta_j\ (1\leq j\leq 2m).

The source further observes that the conjectural motives M(Sp(f))M(Sp(g))M(Sp(f))\otimes M(Sp(g)) and M(Sp(F))M(Sp(F)) have the same Hodge types and rank 24m2^{4m}, which supplies motivation but not a proof of the lifting.
